 perovskite oxide materials have been studied extensively as potential alternatives to noble metals in heterogeneous catalysis. These materials can be synthesized with multiple cations, which can lead to synergistic effects that enhance catalytic activity. Recent studies have focused on understanding the relationship between the physical and chemical properties of these materials and their catalytic performance in transfer hydrogenation reactions. In this review, we summarize the current state of research into perovskite oxides and their applications in CTH reactions.
